| BRITISH COLUMBIA ARTISTS |
Their collection includes the fonds of the Vancouver Art Association, the BC Art League, and the BC Society of Fine Arts. They also have a large collection of information on Charles Marega that was donated by Peggy Imredy, the wife of sculptor Elek Imredy (q.v.). The late Dr. Walter Hardwick donated his personal collection of School Days, a small publication for Vancouver school students.
The Archives also holds exhibitions in their lobby, typically of material related to Vancouver's history, such as the 1980 exhibition of Stuart Thomson photographs.
The archives has a massive collection of information about
the history of Vancouver, including a large collection of what they refer to
as "documentary art" (in other words, artworks that tend to depict
Vancouver and its people, buildings, boats, and other features of the time).
The collection (in 2011) consisted of about 1,000 artworks by 225
different artists. At this point, although most of the 225 artists are already listed in
BC Artists, they have not been cross-referenced to the Archives as a
finding aid.
